Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main line into homes on Marco Island without any taste, smell, or visible sign. The only reliable way to know if it’s present is through laboratory testing that looks specifically for radionuclides.
On Marco Island many everyday uses — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — rely on the same water that enters your house. If testing identifies elevated strontium-90, the most effective strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every tap is protected. Point-of-use devices can help at one sink, but they won’t cover showers, laundry, or outdoor hoses; a correctly selected whole-house system gives consistent protection for all household uses.
A whole-house water softener is often the best single-filter solution for reducing strontium-90 because it uses ion exchange. The resin inside the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Since strontium-90 behaves chemically as strontium, an ion exchange softener installed at the Marco Island service entry point can reduce it while also addressing the hard water that commonly causes scale on fixtures and appliances.
To be effective in a Marco Island home, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance keeps the system performing well. Adding a sediment prefilter is often recommended to protect the resin from sand and debris that can be present after storms or during seasonal changes. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house setup tailored for Marco Island conditions that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
